What candy machine is this

[loman4ec]

Can anyone ID this machine and what is it worth if its complete and in descent condition. I found it on craigslist for a good price. are these worth anything? Parts or restored? Or should I hold out for a stoner?

That's a National 10c I think, but one for snacks and pastries. Kind of rare really. Wouldn't mind having that one myself. Late 50's. Others can chime in, but I would pay $250 or thereabouts.

That is a national  snack machine, it is very heavy about 300 lbs, but has a lot of chrome on it, if done up it comes out great, can be done as a moon pie machine, very cool, i had  a stoner snack machine done  in  moon pies and it looks great, buy it , you do not see them much

That is National 510, made in the late 50's.  We used several of these back in the 60's to actually about 1990. They had been converted to electronic coin mechs.

As you can see this was a 10 pull, but it has been converted to a five pull, which was easy.  Need to do that to take snacks instead of candy. 

From what I can see not worth much on the market, but I think they are nice machines, plus I known all little bit about them, since I filled them.  Also have manuals for them.  The ones I have seen are 9 Candy +Gum/mint, so I have only seen one 10 pull before.

Value ?  Not $250.00 for that one, missing mirror trim at least.  Maybe 50-100 dollar range.

While these are not Stoners, they still be done up real nice

I will be getting two of these.  They are originally 8 Candy +Gum Mint.  I plan on using parts out of one to restore the other, but I will have parts left over like the the trim,extra coin box, etc.

Locks are not a problem, I have several already if you need one, contact me:

Yes, many of them show signs of being broke into, they were not hard to do.
